very simple, we use the formula sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa and sin(20)=2sinacosa

5pi = 2pi/3+3pi/3,

First, we use sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa

sin(5pi/3)=sin(2pi/3+3pi/3)= sin(2pi/3+pi)= sin(2pi/3)cos(pi) +sin(pi)cos(2pi/3)

but we know that sin(pi)= 0, and cos (pi) = -1, so sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)

now, use sin(2a)=2sinacosa, sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)= -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)

sin<span>(5pi/3)=  -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)</span>

<span>sin(pi/3)= 0.86, cos(pi/3)=0.5, finally we have   </span>sin<span>(5pi/3)=  -0.86 x 0.5= -0.43</span>

Well, you're just suppose to know where 5pi/3 is on the unit circle.
That is in the fourth quadrant with coordinates (1/2, -root3/2)
So sin of 5pi/3 would be = to -root3/2

Hello, happy Friday, I am just here with some geometry questions.
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

m<D = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Triangle STU and DEF are similar triangles, because their corresponding side lengths have the same ratio.

For example FD can be multiplied by 2.5 to get SU, and EF can be multiplied by 2.5 to get TU, and ED can me multiplied by 2.5 to get 15.

Anyways, since the two triangles are similar, they have the same angle measures, meaning that angle D can be found by subtracting 46 and 25 from 180 degrees to find the missing angle, which is 105 degrees. I hope that helps.
